Without a doubt. I spent many years in various specialist positions, including a tactical team, but other than that I very seldom ever had my gun out of the holster. But I passed the training every year, and I take it religiously, knowing that some day the situation might arise, even at my rank, where I have to take action. I'm very confident that the training I've had still provides me with the ability to do that to this day.
